"You …"
"Very well, you have guts. We shall see!"
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Prince Li Ming was also enraged. However, he was not as impulsive as Prince Xiang Jue. Instead, he glared at Xing Jue with a venomous gaze before dragging Young Master Xiang Jue towards the sealed basin.
During this time, the three guards behind the two princes did not say a word. However, if the two princes really asked them to attack …
Xing Jue believed that they would definitely attack him mercilessly. Of course, Xing Jue was not afraid of them at all. Otherwise, he would not have reprimanded their princes so mercilessly.
On their way here, the emperor had told Xing Jue that he could no longer tolerate them and that there was no need for him to continue tolerating them. The extent of his tolerance was in Xing Jue's hands.
However, the emperor did not know that the extent of Xing Jue's tolerance was intolerable. Especially when he had the strength to fight against them, he would not choose to endure the humiliation. Instead, he would fight back head-on.
"General Xing Jue, have you forgotten the emperor's instructions? Have you forgotten the purpose of this trip? "
"You have offended the two princes and formed a grudge against them. When we enter the sealed basin later, will you bear the consequences if they do anything to the princess?"
After the two princes left, the head captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the head servant girl angrily rebuked Xing Jue.
"I think that all of you should have forgotten that this is the territory of my Star Fall Empire. If you allow others to climb over your heads in your own territory, then wouldn't all of you only have the right to be slaves in other people's territory?"
However, Xing Jue did not care about their rebuke at all. Instead, he used an extremely sharp and loud voice to refute them.
"You …" After hearing Xing Jue's words, the two princes were speechless. For a moment, they did not know how to refute him.
"In addition, I would like to remind you not to forget the duty that the emperor has assigned you here."
"The Emperor wants you to protect Princess Xin Xin, not to make you fear your opponent. If you are afraid, I can report to the Emperor right now and have him revoke your duties."
"Because, even without you, I, Xing Jue, can still protect Princess Xin Xin."
Xing Jue continued to ruthlessly reprimand the two of them who had awkward expressions. While he was speaking, he flicked his wrist and took out the Upper Treasure Token that the emperor had bestowed to him.
"Don't, General Xing Jue, we're just thinking about Princess Xin Xin, but we think what you said makes sense. We can't let them run wild in our territory. How about this, from now on, we'll listen to your orders. What do you think?"
When the head captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the head maid saw the Upper Treasure Token that Xing Jue was talking about, their expressions changed greatly. Then, they hurriedly made a one hundred and eighty degree turn and smiled at Xing Jue.
It should be known that even the two of them did not possess the Upper Treasure Token. That was because the Upper Treasure Token was a token that could directly communicate with the Emperor. In the entire Starfall Empire, those who possessed the Upper Treasure Token were all trusted aides of the Emperor.
Now that Xing Jue had actually taken out the Upper Treasure Token, the two of them suddenly understood how important Xing Jue was. Most importantly, if Xing Jue were to really report this matter to the Emperor, the two of them would probably face imminent disaster.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly realized that the person that they had always looked down on was actually such a terrifying existence. At the very least, in terms of status and background, he far surpassed them.
"That would be for the best. However, I hope that the two of you can clearly understand the meaning of the word 'protect'. Your mission is not only to protect the Princess' safety, but also to protect her character from being humiliated and harmed. In short, you must not let Princess Xin Xin suffer even the slightest bit of grievance."
With regards to the one hundred and eighty degree change in their attitude, Xing Jue did not have the slightest change in his expression. Instead, he continued to sternly warn them. Then, without looking at the expressions of the two of them, he brought Princess Xin Xin and walked towards the already opened passage in the sealed basin.
Although Xing Jue's reprimand was merciless, the head captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the head maid did not dare to show the slightest bit of displeasure. Instead, they closely followed Xing Jue and Princess Xin Xin's footsteps.
"Looks like this Xing Jue is indeed not simple. No wonder the Emperor favors him so much, and the generals also attach so much importance to him."
"It is our Starfall Dynasty's fortune to have such a person in the Secret Battalion."
Looking at Xing Jue's back, the general of the Secret Battalion that was in charge of guarding this place revealed a smile of admiration. It was as if he had seen the light of hope in Xing Jue. Then, he brought the soldiers behind him and followed in the footsteps of Xing Jue and the others.
"Big brother Xing Jue, why didn't you let me scold them just now? They are really too much. How could they say that about big brother Xing Jue? "Princess Xin Xin asked indignantly.
"Xin Xin, didn't we agree that when I am around, you will remain silent. No matter what happens, big brother Xing Jue will stand up for you."
"You should know that you are a princess. Even if it is for the sake of your father, you must still pay attention to your appearance," said Xing Jue with a smile.
On the way here, Xing Jue had repeatedly reminded Princess Xin Xin that no matter what Prince Xiang Jue and the others said, Princess Xin Xin Xin must not get angry. Because if they dared to step forward and provoke her, Xing Jue would naturally counterattack and make them suffer the consequences.
Because regardless of whether it was Princess Xin Xin's guard or Princess Xin Xin's brother, it was Xing Jue's responsibility and obligation.
However, as the princess of the Starfall Dynasty and the most beloved daughter of His Majesty, Princess Xin Xin should pay attention to her appearance. She could not act recklessly like a child. She must have the temperament that a princess should have.
"Yes, Xin Xin understands. Anyway, with big brother Xing Jue around, no one can bully Xin Xin. Hee ~ ~ ~ ~" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Princess Xin Xin pouted her small mouth, then revealed a sweet smile.
The sealed basin was a huge pit. Although it was not as steep as the valley, the path down was a little rugged. Fortunately, everyone's strength was not weak. While they were chatting, they quickly reached the sealed basin. At this moment, Xing Jue and the others could clearly see everything in the sealed basin.
The plants here were indeed very strange. The trees were thick and tall, which could block the sunlight. The plants were dense and complicated, which could block one's sight. Most importantly, this was a barren wasteland a few decades ago. After a few decades, it had become a basin forest. Moreover, it was filled with an ancient aura. This was completely abnormal.
"Princess, General Xing Jue, this sealed basin is unfathomably deep and contains unknown dangers. If you encounter any danger, please inform me immediately. I will lead the army to rescue you." The stationed general solemnly said to Princess Xin Xin and Xing Jue.
"Since I have chosen to hunt here, I want this kind of dangerous atmosphere. Otherwise, I would not have brought only a few people."
"If I need your army to open a path, what's the point? I can order my Phaseless Dynasty's army to turn this sealed basin into a barren basin again and capture all the mysterious creatures inside. "
"Therefore, you must understand the purpose of my hunt. As for Princess Xin Xin's safety, you do not have to worry with me around."
However, just as the stationed general finished speaking, before Xing Jue and the others could reply, Prince Xiang Jue of the Phaseless Dynasty cast a disdainful gaze at them. His words were filled with ridicule.
"Don't worry, General. If there is anything wrong, I will inform you." With regards to Prince Xiang Jue's interruption, Xing Jue completely ignored it. Instead, he smiled and spoke to the stationed general. After that, he led Princess Xin Xin into the seal basin.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can remain so smug for." After Xing Jue and the others entered, a hint of viciousness appeared on Prince Xiang Jue's face. Then, after exchanging a glance with Prince Li Ming, they each led their three guards into the sealed basin.
"Jijijijiji ~"
"Gugugugu ~"
The Seal Basin was very special. It was even more strange than an ordinary ancient forest. The tall trees stood upright, and the dense branches and leaves covered a large area of the sun. Even though it was daytime, it was still dusky in the basin. Under such an environment, everyone could only use light talismans to explore the way.
As the group ventured deeper, the strange aura in the basin became denser. At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with vigilance. They constantly looked around and a nervous atmosphere permeated around them.
"Brother Xing Jue, I'm scared …"
Princess Xin Xin, who was only a Battle-Saint, finally revealed the fear in her heart when she heard the strange bird cries. She walked to Xing Jue's side and grabbed Xing Jue's palm tightly with one hand while her other arm hooked onto Xing Jue's. She wished she could burrow into Xing Jue's embrace.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing Princess Xin Xin's appearance, Xing Jue wore a smile on his face. He gently stroked Princess Xin Xin's long hair and comforted her with a smile.
"Hmm …"
After being in such close contact with Xing Jue, the fear in Princess Xin Xin's heart disappeared. She revealed a sweet and relieved smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
"How dare you touch my Princess Xin Xin. Do you still have the concept of a master and servant? Do you still have any respect for the westerners?"
But at this moment, Prince Xiang Jue, who was following behind the Xing Jue's group, suddenly roared out. When he turned around, he saw Xiang Jue's face was deathly pale. His hands and feet were dancing. His face was filled with envy, jealousy and endless rage.
He looked as if Xing Jue had taken his wife. Of course, in his heart, Princess Xin Xin was already his wife and his empress. If it wasn't for Xing Jue, he would have already attacked the sweet and lovely Princess Xin Xin without any scruples.
